Chapter 3

"So what's this I haven't heard about? Jang Heejae exiled?" I asked, settling into the seat on she ship the girls had come from. "Your mom found out and managed to uncover the actual killers of the nobles from 60 years ago, and that was enough for the King to make his ruling. "He sent Lord Jang and his accomplices to be exiled and eventually killed, and sentenced High Royal Consort Jang to death by poison. The Crown Prince has gotten over it, and is great friends with Prince Yuning." Kaia said in one breath. "Breathe!" I giggled. "So, how's Geum?" I asked, referring to my younger brother – aka the Heir Apparent Prince Yuning. "He's fine, bouncing round the palace and playing hide – n – seek all the time." Tauriel supplied. She laughed. "He ran the conductor – what's his name again? - and the Royal Musician Youngdal ragged yesterday 'cos he was hiding up in a tree and they couldn't find him."

It took a day to get to Korea, and immediately I was summoned to the Yun's quarters. "Mom. Geum. Yun." I greeted, entering the room. Guem got up to hug me.
